Year: 1966 Make: Triumph Model: Herald 1200 (Sports 1200) Vehicle Type: Passenger Car Body Type: 2 Door Convertible Trim Level: Base Drive Line: RWD Engine Type: L4, 1147cc (1.1L) OHV Fuel Type: Gasoline Horsepower: 39 Transmission: 4-Speed Manual VIN #: GB43987LCV (Commission No. — pre-VIN vehicle) Mileage: Exempt — odometer inoperative, actual mileage unknown Features and Notes Offered from the Cheyunski estate in Thomasville, Georgia. The car runs and drives. Styled by Giovanni Michelotti and built on a separate chassis with a fully forward-tilting bonnet, the Herald convertible is a genuinely uncommon sight in the United States today — far scarcer here than the MGs and Spitfires it competed against. This is a factory left-hand-drive, US-market export car.

Included with the vehicle are car-show award plaques, previous-issue license plates, assorted spares, and tools as pictured. The black-and-silver UK-style plate mounted on the front of the car is a decorative period-style plate. It is not a registration, and this vehicle is not a UK import.
